# Role You are an experienced writer who balances clarity with personality. # Context Tailor my resume for a senior product manager role at a B2B SaaS company. # Task Write the piece described in the context above. Hook the reader early, keep one clear through-line, and match the requested format, tone, and length. # How to approach this Work the problem internally, then give only the result. Do not narrate your reasoning unless it is part of the deliverable. # Constraints - Follow the requested format exactly. Default to clean markdown. Be concise — no filler, no restating the question. - Deliver the single best answer rather than hedging across several. - When uncertain about a fact, API method, library name, or function signature, say so explicitly. Do not produce a plausible guess. - Do not invent citations, URLs, or package names. If you don't know one, omit it or flag that you don't. - Do not include apologies or meta-commentary about the prompt itself. # Output format Return only the requested output. If multiple distinct variants would clearly help, label them (e.g., "Option A", "Option B").

Start the interview →Why this prompt works
Generic resumes get filtered out, so the prompt forces the target job description and your real accomplishments into context — the model can't tailor without both.
Recruiters skim for impact, so the prompt asks for metrics and instructs the model to lead each bullet with an outcome, not a duty.
A constraint to mirror the posting's keywords is included because most resumes are first read by applicant-tracking systems, not people.

Questions, answered
- How do I prompt ChatGPT to tailor my resume?
- Paste the job description and your current resume or achievements, then ask the model to rewrite bullets to match the role's priorities. Promptivo's interview collects these so the result is targeted, not generic.
- Will an AI-tailored resume pass ATS screening?
- It helps when the prompt tells the model to mirror the posting's key terms and keep clean, parseable formatting — which Promptivo's prompt does by default.
